About the Elontec School Diaper Challenge

The Annual Elontec School Diaper Challenge allows schools across the Valley to learn and participate in philanthropy through a competition to collect the most diapers, while competing to win prizes and money for their school!

The Super Hero Award goes to the school that collects the most total diapers and will receive a visit from the Phoenix Suns Gorilla!

The Mighty Heart Award goes to the school that collects the most total diapers per student (as a ratio) and will receive a Sweet Treat Party!

The drives are fun for the kids and we encourage them to make it their own and be creative! We have had schools create fun music videos, chants, play “Hot Diaper” (like hot potato) in assemblies, principles and/orteachers have worn diapers as ties, hats, etc. Schools have teamed up with their local grocery stores or businesses for donations as well. There are many ways to be creative!

It is easy to hold a drive! Schools typically pick a 2 week period anytime in the above timeframe to hold their drive. There are two ways to earn diapers: diapers or collect "dollars-for-diapers", as some prefer to donate.

We give diaper credit of 4 diapers per $1. We then use this money to purchase diapers in bulk, which actually allows us to purchase 30% more diapers and make these donations go much farther!.
